The . following is the only article which it con- "tams GUTTENBURGH, OCT. al.—Nothing further has transpircd about the Armistice in Finland. IY, s Majesty's Ships Via - tory, centaur, and ere here, and sail Kith the first fair • vi:nd for 'Eng land. The Af r i ca h as h a d a upwards of 26 Danish G an -b oa ' s .ash w ith off Drago. Some of them have been si• -,ok. The Africa lost io men killed and 50 - wounded : she has returned to Carl- repair. .SCTODa so Stockholm Gazettes have been received to the tpth of last month. They bring no news of im portance. The Paper of the z7th contains a report from Admiral PUKE, confirming the intelligence that the whole Russian Fieet has set sail, with the excen- Con of two Fiigates, which remained in Rogerwick, or Baltic Port, on the 7th of 06tober. -Wz yesterday received Madrid Papers to the 20th Mt. from which we have made some extratis. The next arrivals from Spain will probably be very im portant, as they will, we have little doubt,. bring us an account of an attack by the Spaniards upon the French :Line. The reinforcements .which the French have hitherto received are inconsiderable, and we have every reason to believe that the French Papers greatly over-rate the - number of troops that are.marching to wards the Pyrennees. Nothing can be more easy than to talk of marching 200,000 men to subjugate Spain. but, notwithstanding BUONTAPARTE'S COR acription, and his arrangements at Erfurt!), we are convinced he has not 200,000 dispoi•able troops ; and if be has, he has not the means of maintaining them during a winter campaign in such a country as Spain. Yesterday several French, Dutch, and Hamburgh Tapers reached Town. Great pains are taken in the Foreign Papers to prove that Austria does not.enter tain any hostile dispositions towards France, and that she is disarming: the latter part . of the state ment we know to h 6 false, but it is by no means imprubable that the Austrian Government may th.ak it pralent to temporize for a time, and to de fer taking any decisive measures until the greater Part of the French force is seriously engaged in Spain, The party-spirit that wanted to excite the people of S , affordshire to address.the Throne on the subjea of the Convention . of Cintra, is, we.are glad to find,. likely to be effeaually sulodued,by the good sense and candour of a very large majority in that.. Cou ntry. The Marquis cif STAFFORD, .we understand, has publicly si;. , ,nified that he does not mean to at tend the prupused Meeting. We hope an equal poi tion of good sense and candour will be ma uifusted 'wherever the advocates for. prejudica- • tion and insult to his- Majesty, after his gracious pro mise has-been given, may attempt to Spread discon tent, and that Englishmen, with their charaaeristic liberality,. will patiently abide the investigation of a Court from which nothing but impartial justice will result. The British Troops in Spain are to rendezvous at Valladolid. They will amount to, about 40,000 men . A body of about 10,000 men are to remain in Por tugal. It is said that Sir J. CRADDOCK is going out to Lisbon, to rake the command there, in the room oar . .,o,awal Boaamio, who has been recalled. ,?yesterdav morning, h S MAJESTY, Princesses So 71iA, AUGUSTA, and AMELIA, accompanied by WALDEGRAVE and G. MOR RA Y, and General Yrrztto?, rode to St. GeoiTe's Chapel, and heard a ,Lt.t•CLuni prrached by the Rev. Mr. CHAMPIdNEY; from the Isi Thessalonians, ch. 5. v. 17. and after wards returned to the Palace. We hear that 7000 British troops have been or dered from Malta and Sicily, to Spain. By letters from Bergen, it appear; that the Danish Goyernment has prohibited exports from Norway in `foreign bottoms. -- - -- • _ . ... _ . . - BUONAPAR T E, ifi his journey to and from Erfurth, divided his retinue into threedivtsions, which Moved at the distance of from five to six, leagues asunder.-- - The first division, comprising cooks, &c. consisted of twelve carriages, with four and six horses ; the second division, consisting of BUONAPA - RTE and the . .principal persons of his suite, was composed of two carriages with eight horses, and seven carriages with six, and required about 150 horses : the third divi , sion was the most numerous, and occupied 300 , horses.

The P e ..Ople, uninformed o f hi s i ntent i on, were alarir 4ed by heavy discharges of artillery; every one fle ,w to arms, and some hours of cohfu.ion and con stet-nation elapsed before 'they were satisfied- that their French friends were not about' to repeat at Dres den the massacre which had been des:gned to esta blish their power at Madrid. Mosnatt.„occtipied. ''the 'Palace of Count Bau L, and greatly enjoyed 'the scene be had produced. There not being a suffi ciency of stabling in Dresden for the French hories, temporary buildings were ereated' for their accom foodation in the public places. .. . ' Notwithstanding the repeated assurances which bad been ' made by the Austrian Cabinot of'it s pacific intentions, the- magnitude and a6tivity .. o f its military preparations induced throughout the Empire a general apprehension of war, and the paper currency in consequence experienced,a tno4t injurious depreciatioti, the Vienna „hank-notes bearing a discount of 20 to 25 percent. TO sus: tain the credit of the ,Bank- the Emperor ibund it necessary to guarantee . the interest of five, per cent. to those who inv ested pra i :erty i n i t , an d ' to engage his reve nues i n hubecuia, Germany, * . aAd Galicia, to. the fulfilment W the obligation. '., The ii-i -dividual is required to give six monthA notice of hilt intention to withdraw his capital, and the State bind 4 itself not to pay off these annuitants for ten years, un-; less in compliance with their wishes. The discount , on those notes ! fell. in consequence to 15. and 1 . 5 per cent. BERNADOTTE has annou.hced to the Senate of Hamburgh his intention to pass the winter in that' city, and has demanded an increase of the daily sum , paid by them for the support of his establishment. At his command; the Senate has likewise issued ano ther Prockamation,. cautioning the people against giving circulation to reports. unfavourable to - -the 'cause of France . and her Allies, as such offenders would be rigorously punished. • From some late adviees received from the Island of St. Domingo by the way of Ameriza, welearn that CH RISTOPIIE nits been worsted in the several en gagements he has recently had with his riVal PETtotvr. They state, that the fOrmer, despairitig of ultimate success, has come to a determination to give up the struggle„ 'and if possible to quit the island with the immense treasure lie has amassed, which, it is said; amounts to upwards of half a trillion in specie. We were glad to 'see .the 'following passage in an Opposition Paper of. this day, which very ieldoin indeed manifests a, disposition to pay so just and' ho tiourable a tribute to the honour and generosity of its Country. 'We are also glad to see that the condu6t of BUONAPARTE is now so infamous, that he has lost the-friendship of the Opposition Writers in this Country :—" The Spaniards have shewn that they are not easily duped by artifices„ however subtle;.. and it would require ranch less good sense than they possess to distinguish between a country which ,is willing to expend its treasures and shed its best . blood in aiding them to maintain their inc4endence,l and a ruthless Despot who is marching at the head of an hundred thousand slaves, to plunder thei r dwellings, prophan e • their temples, desolate their Provinces, and, if possible, to impose upon them ' and their , posterity, for ever, a yoke of the most galling and ignominious vassalage." ,A..letter received on Saturday from our squadron, off Flushing, dated on Tuesday last, states,_ that the enemy's force in that port, comprised nine sail 'of the line and five frigates, and some mare ships of war were daily expe6ted down the Scheldt. We hear there are eight sail of the line at .the Texel, in apparent readiness fur sea. 'Mr. ROSE, the Treasurer of the Navy, is, we un derstand, preparing for the press some observations upon the hi s t or i ca l f ragment Of the late Mr. Fox.: The diligence, research ; and sagacity of - Mr. liosk; renderit very probable that he will fully expose the errors of a work which seems to have been more in tended for - the support of an hypothesis than for the elucidation of historical truth. On Saturday evening last Mr. Alexander Magnus-, of Frieston, in Lincolnshire, and his wife, travelling in a gig fr om H orncast l e h omeward, were stopped,- about seven o'clock, a little on the south side of Stickney, near a place called Northgate-bat, by two men on horseback. They 'had previously met and passed the gig, riding very close to it ; and having proceeded about ioo yards, they turned round their horses, and producing each a highly polished pistol, with a bayonet attached, rode after Mr. Magnus, and desired him to stop. On -Mr. hlagnus complying, the two men, one on each sit:e, pointed their pis tols to his head, and demanded his purse, which he gave them. They then said, " You have a poeket book, Sir; ,we must !lave it also." Having obtained I it, they, clapt spurs to their horses, and rode away at' a great rate. During the robbery they were very courteous in their ,turitier of address, and begged Mrs. Magnus not to be alarmed. at the tire-arms; as they meant her no injury. On Mr. Magnus reach ing the toll-bar, he overtook Mr. Fletcher, of Leake, who a few minutes before had been n.ti'ied by the same men, of between iG and IT. The :Money the robbers got from Mr. Magnus was only 51. 15S. The Queen w o. / 1 1TEMBURGII, by Ms permission, or in other words, by BUONAIPA RTE'Sciireetion is said to have addr esse d l etters to the KING, the ellyzEN, the Prince of WALES, and , her sisters, the PRIN CESSES, which were brought:over by the Russian Messenger ten days ago. In" these she is spade express the gratitude which sbe feels - towards his Imperial Majesty, for of an opportnnity of renewing the long suspended intercourse between her parents and rdatives.

We lately announced the arrival.. of Gen. KEL LERMAN in the ilfricaine I.rigale, at Portsmouth, from Lisbon, on his way to: Calais, at which port he expressed a wish to Sir C. COTTON, that he might be allowed to disembark, instead of Rochelle or L'Orient, is conformity with the Convention, of which Gene ral KrmLERNIAN signed the basis. We understand that • General KELLERMAN'S request was not con fined to himself; but that he has also requested the permission of the British GovernMent for the gar risons of Elves and Almeida, as well as the remain ing French troops who were forced back to Lisbon by stress of weather, to sail immediately for France. The General ) , however,' has not been allowed to pursue his journey to France, until information has bees received that the Transports employed in con veying JUNOT'S troops from Lisbon have been per mitted to leave the French ports, and return to England. : In the mean time, the General, after re maining a fortnight. on board the Africaine, at Spit bead, has been petmitted, on account of his,health, to land at Ryde, in the Isle of Wight, on parole. When Gener2 KELLERMAN gave up Col. TAYLOR'S horse to the 20th Light Dragoons, Sir ARTHUR WEI : LESLEY, upon hearing of it, presented General KELLERMAN with one of his best horses, which he' accepted, as a. proof of his esteem for Sir ARTHUR'S noble and liberal character. It is stated, in letters from Dresden, that during the three - first weeks in September ,upwards of 80,000 French troops passed through that city for Leipzic, on their return to the Rhine. The marriage of a Russian Princess with an Archduke of Austria is again spoken of. F.•m the LONDON G 47 ETTE, Nov. 5, ISO.
